This seems extreme. I wouldn't be shocked if he was 5-10 years older than what was listed, so when he retired at age 32 he would've actually been 37-40. But there's no way he was getting NBA minutes and producing in his 40s.

Fascinating player and an impressive humanitarian, though, and hopefully his talented son can expand on his legacy.
